Hello again, I am sorry that it has been a few days since we have had time to sit down and do this. We are very busy with all that is going on here. We are planning times for people to come over and hang out this weekend, also teaching english, hosting a bible study, and also working with AINDOC. We are very busy right now planning a day of social help in the community. Aindoc is heading a day of social help on the 17th of November and we need gifts for around 1000 people, and food and bathroom supplies and many other things. Anyhow we are planning on about 25 youth this weekfor for a sleepover during the night of the 31st and 1st. Please keep us in your prayers as we are planning on doing this. Today we had 18 other youth over for a day of American Food Cooking class headed up by Amanda. It was fun and I think that most of them enjoyed the mashed potatoes, with meatballs and gravy. It was hard to think about what food we could serve that is authentic American. Well, we will have more time to sit down and tell you about the weekend and what is happening there early next week.
I need to keep this short because I am very tired and need to get to bed. I took another missionary about 1 hour from here this morning at 5:30am so I am starting to feel it. Last night we only got about 4 1/2 or 5 hours of sleep because we had Bible study last night as well.
I wanted to let you know that we have a new video online at our youtube account that was made by Amistad Christian, and Colegio Patria Juarez (the girls school) and it has the students from the school in it so we wanted to share it with you. It made us cry and we were so blessed to be able to get a copy of it. God is really blessing our family by allowing us the opertunity to live and work for Him in this wonderful country. Thank you all for your prayers and we will blog again soon. God Bless You All!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Catch the Fire.
Hello, I am sorry that it has been awhile since I have had time to write. Thank you Jesus that my beautiful wife is here for me, keeping up on all this. We have been so busy with the donations at AINDOC, and now for the last week, this week, and next week I am teaching english in the school system here (PLEASE PRAY FOR ME!!!!!!!) J/K. It actually has been very great. We were talking about rock stars the other day and there assignment was to write down what rock stars do, as rock stars! This was interresting, but thankfully I had did my homework and was able to show the negative side of being a star. I told them about the drugs, and the influence of the occult, the disease's and other things. This was an AWESOME opportunity to show the life of Christ and what he wants for us. I told them that many of the rules that are put in place by Jehova are not for Him, but for us!! To save us from the pain!! There eyes were glued and I had 18, 12 and 13 year old students not saying a word!! God is so good. There are many more things to add, but that is not what I wanted to write about tonight. I wanted to say thank you to Jesus for providing us that opportunity to be here doing this work. The other day I got a message from a girl that is becoming more of apart of our family everyday. We just love her so much and are so excited to see how God is moving in the hearts of the people here. I received permission from her to post this so you all can see how people are crying out for God. This is not the first time that we have heard something like this, this is just the first time that I have received permission to share it with the world, and all of you. (I deleted anything that might give away who she is, for her privacy.) Here is what it said,
This is why our family is here. The other day I was walking around the house complaining about something and then I realised the blessing that God has given us. I was brought to tears this weekend when we were with some friends and I realized again the life that God is blessing us with. We are able to take that blessing and like the Bible says, it is a cup overflowing. We cannot help but share the love of Jesus with those around us. It is truly like a fire that once it is lit, anything that comes in contact with it will also burn. Sure I am human and make stupid human mistakes, but God is SOOOOOOOO much bigger than that!! If he can use a donkey, he can use little old me. The other day I was working on a project and I started laughing because I was just like a little school girl who is going out with a boy. I realised that I had spent the last couple hours not saying a word to anyone, but just letting my mind wander into the presence of Jesus and allowing His love to wrap around me. While I was working on that project, I was just trying to imagine what it will be like when we stand before Him. When we are able, when ever we want, to worship Him live and in person. What He must look like, and what kind of person He is, what kind of love he must have for us, and what His plans for our life are. He has planted this love in my heart is at the core of who I am. Even though the love is in my head, it is not centered there, and while the love is in my heart, that is not the core of it either. This love is something that is in center of who I am, set deep inside, and unable to be removed by anything. It is so powerful that is changes the physical person on the outside. He has sparked this love, and as the Bible calls it, it is the "love of the bridegroom". The wedding feast is not far off, and we that are alive in Christ will be caught up in the air to meet Him. I don't know if this generation will see the end or not. One thing is for sure, one day our world (personally)will come to an end, and then it will be our turn to stand before Him and present ourselves to the Father. I look forward to the day when I can present my body as the living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to Him, trying my best to live in peace with all man. Thank you Jesus for this life, and this wonderful opportunity to serve you. The people of Mexico are also catching this vision and the more that we share your message, the more that it effecting those around us. We have found out that this is the hour for Christians to stop taking the back seat. The other day one of my friends said it best, he said, "I am beginning to think that, instead of taking the hits of satan, we start hitting him, and if there was ever a time to take up our cross to follow Jesus...... this is the time." This is the time, and this is the truth.
Hey!!! How are you guys doing?? I have been very blessed through “*******************” Mexico City I learned a lot! And I think it’s time to start putting in practice what I know…. God spoke about making Jesus famous!!! To ask Jesus in our daily prayers to use our lives to make Him famous, whatever way He wants, but we need to be utile for His renown!! You know what??? Recently I have been feeling a huge worrying about my country!!! Because of *************, I am getting really involved with México, I’ve got to read the newspaper, go deep in some crimes, investigate murderers, etc!! It’s being very difficult knowing all stuff, sadly, real. There’s a big need to change and to fight for Mexico!!! You guys have been a great model for me… watching that you have done lots more things for a Country that’s not even yours … you have left your family!! Well we all know how difficult this has been for you… then why I’m I just standing and watching and clapping you??? I should feel ashamed! I call myself a Mexican!! Ok I’m so proud… and then??? What’s next?? This can’t continue the ways it goes…. I’ve got to change first if I want people to change.. I believe there is still hope for Mexico!!! Something new is growing in my heart!! I want to go share the gospel to jails! I know sounds crazy but I also know Jesus is the only solution. It’s not increase punishments, it’s not put criminals into death,. Jesus is the only way to stop such evilness!! I don’t know what but I need to do something!! Jesus is coming soon and there’s no time to waste…. Let’s make Jesus famous!!! Now, I want you guys to continue helping me, I need discipleship, I would like that u share your knowledge with me!! For I know being willing is important but not enough. I need to be prepared! It’s sounds difficult ha?! But I know God will make his part… mean while here I am to do mine!!! Thanks for reading… Love you!!!

More questions from the teens in Acapulco
Questions from the teens in Acapulco
How do I get rid of a trama that happened in my life?
Prayer and fasting!!! This is the only way that it can leave. When we try to do it on our own satan comes and hits us to the ground with more force. This is one of satans was of getting someone to turn away from God and look to the world for answers. You need to be able to talk to a pastor or someone that is in love with the Lord. This person needs to be able to pray with you and help stick with you throught the healing process. The most important thing is to learn how to hand it over to Jesus. He is there waiting for your help and your commitment to Him. We were never ment to carry a heavy burden like that ourselves.
How do you find the Holy Spirit as a Christian if you are using drugs?
Well let me think about this?????? You don't. The Holy Spirit is there waiting for you but He will not give you His helping power if you are a so called Christian who is living the lukewarm Christian life. He will help you to stop using drugs if you are truly willing to stop. He will not judge us if we are not perfect but He will also not shame Jesus by giving you the power if you are not going to profess the life of a true follower of Christ. You need to look and see if Jesus is your number one priority. Drugs don't have to be your God. Because if they are you can't serve two Gods. God is a jealouse He wants all of you not some of you that is attached to a idol. Please pray about the God you really want to serve. Is it just the God who wants to have fun and party. Maybe throw around some drugs. You need to get your priorities straight if this is your God. Help us Chrisitans out who are trying to make a difference in this world for Jesus. Stop shaming Gods name if you are not going to live like a true Chrisitan. We have enough transformers out there already. I will pray that you will change from your transformer gear and put on the true armor of God.
How do I talk to someone that don't believe in God and love?
Here is how pray and live the life of a true Christian. If you have never seen this true form of Chrisitanity before then I know a great book that will give you a lot of awesome examples. The name of the book is “THE BIBLE”. The thing that so many people forget to do is pray. They us the word so loosely, like, “I will pray for you even if they have never prayed a day in their life”. We Christians forget how much power is actually in prayer. It is our one on on connection with God Most High. The only way a person is going to know what love is, is if he has felt it. If that person has been hurt all his life, then we as humans have a tendency to go with the thing that is most common to us. To show someone love you actually need to “Show them love” Pray for that person, it will opens doors for the Holy Spirit and you to be able to talk to them about who the true Savior of our life is.
How do I make the sin of jealousy and envy leave?
Well are there any other sins that surround it? Like are you having sex before marriage with that person? This is one of the greatest ways for satan to come in to your life. If you are doing this then this is one of the things that you need to stop first. If you have not did this then the way to stop is by prayer and to just try to not do it any more. Have you ever heard that a habit is hard to break? Well this is very true. I heard it takes two or three weeks to break a habit if you really keep up with it. The thing is that jealousy usually wraps itself around something.You need to really consider prayer and fasting to get ride of it for good. The Holy Spirit is there to help you if you are willing.
I am afraid to stay in a postion but I am also afraid to fight. How will I leave and fight fear?
Ok the first thing I need to ask you is are you being abused in any way? If so you need to leave NOW. If it is your boyfriend or girlfriend you need to leave and get help now. A abuser will always be abuser. It is important to tell someone about it. I don't know if you have heard of all the stories of people who don't speak up when someone is abusive to them. Most of the time the stories are told by loved ones after because that person was killed by their abuser. Don't let this be you. Get the help you need. Talk to a responsible adult in the church or someone that you trust. The biggest thing is to talk!!! If it is not a boyfriend or girlfriend that is hurting you. If it is one of your family members then you need to leave from the place that it is happening and get help. Go to someone again that you trust and have them help get you out of the place it is happening in. The way that a abuser keeps control over the person that they are abusing is by telling them to be quite. You have to break the power that that person has over you!! TALK!!!This is why the church body is there. We are brothers and sisters, we are called to help each other when we are in need. If it is someone that is in the church you need to talk to someone that will listen to you. This person cannot go without punishment!!! If this person is doing it to you then I can guaranty that you are not there first. You will also not be their last. Please talk!! If you need to talk to someone my email is rossandmandy@yahoo.com or our cell number in Mexico is . Know that God says that “perfect love cast out all fear”. Fear does not come from God it is from satan himself. Pray for the strenght that you will need to over come the problem you are facing.
How can it be possible that I continue to fall into depression?
My question is “have you ever really overcome it'? This is a spirit that attaches to you and will not let you go till you go crazy or take your own life. This one take prayer and fasting to get ride of. Here is the scripture that I gave you guys during the retreat incase you forgot it
Psalms 116. The way to get ride of fasting is by giving thanks to God for all you have. Even if it is only the breath that you have and the life that is granted to you everyday. You need to tell that spirit to leave and tell it to never come back again. You have to be very serious about this because if you are not ready to get ride of the depression yet it will come back seven times worse than before. Jesus has one the power over this fight for you already. You just have to realize that the power is through Him. You have to stop listening to music that make you sad, you need to stop doing things that make you hurt and unhappy. If you are a cutter or are into self mutilization then you need to stop that also. These will only allow the spirit to stay with you. Speak words of life and not words of dead over yourself and over everyone else. I have a question for you? Are you truly living a life of a real Chrisitan? Not just the pecentage that is just a Chrisitan to get a free ride to heaven. The fruits of the spirit are: love, joy, peace, patience, goodness, kindness and self control. These are all the promises plus many more that are given to Gods people. Take hold of them and don't let go. They are ment for you.
How is it possible to change my way of thinking if I don't want to follow God?
Well I can tell you that you are right. It is going to have to be you to change your way of thinking. Because no one else can do it for you. I have a question; are your parents chrisitan? Are you only doing the whole religion thing because of them? If so you will never be able to change. The change has to be completely heart filled. You can just be a good person and walk around and know that you are pleaseing yourself but I am not going to be shy with you then. You cannot enter the kingdom of heaven without a true relationship with Jesus and all the promises that I have spoken in the above questions will not apply to you. These promises are ment for sons and daughters of the Most High God. God is a gentlemen if you don't want Him as part of your live then He won't be, but you can't blame Him when things go wrong in your life. He allows us to make up our own minds, as hard as that may be for Him. Please know that people should not condem you for making up your own mind but that has to go the same for you. Your thoughts towards chrisians cannot be hatefilled either. Please talk to Jesus give Him on last chance before you walk away from Him! He will listen!!
If I don't love myself is it possible to love God and others around me?
My first answer is no. Because you will always find a fault in someone or a reason to let your love leave that person if you don't understand true forgivness also. Forgivness comes with the true love of God. Remember my tatoo that I had on my wrist? It said “LOVE Mathew 22:37”
This verse says Love the Lord with all your heart,with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandent. The second is like this Love your neighbor as yourself.. All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments. If you can't love yourself how can you complete this or any of the commandments? The reason I can talk to you about this is because I was also never able to love myself. Because of this I would never except my husbands love for me. I could never take compliments, but the worst of all I always thought that God was disgusted with me for my past sins. I knew it in my mind that He loved me but I never really knew it in my heart. I went through a time of prayer and fasting which I thought was for someone else at the time but God took me to a level like I had never been with Him before. I was praying and fasting for myself but I didn't know I was doing it for me. God knew I wouldn't have did it for myself but I would do it for another person. During this time I was completely over come by the Love of God. I cannot explain it to you because there are really no words on this earth to let you know the love and joy and peace that I felt at that time. I have seen the world through a whole knew set of eyes now. I am able to love people that I don't know. I am able to sacrifice the wants that I have to be able to help someone else out now. I am going to end in a dream that God gave me. I want you learn the lesson I had to learn before I was able to truly love myself. I am going to shorten it and only give you the highlights. I was in my old home walking hand in hand with my mother-in-law. I walked into a room and a demon left my body. I walked back out to my mother-in-law and told her that I was different. She told me to go back into the room and look in the mirror. When I went back and looked in the mirror I seen a Wal-Mart smilie face on it. After this time I was able to move things with my mined. After I did it a couple of times God stopped me and told me that I had pride in my life. I didn't understand at first because I am not a prideful person, but God spoke to me later and told me the pride was not in myself but the I hated I had in myself was telling God that HE didn't make something perfect. I was telling God that He was a liar and that is where my pride came from. The verse I now have memorised is Psalm 139:14 “Because I am fearfully and wonderfully made” I pray that you can see this also in your life. Because the same goes for you.

Prayer and fasting!!! This is the only way that it can leave. When we try to do it on our own satan comes and hits us to the ground with more force.

I didn't understand at first because I am not a prideful person, but God spoke to me later and told me the pride was not in myself but the I hated I had in myself was telling God that HE didn't make something perfect. I was telling God that He was a liar and that is where my pride came from. The verse I now have memorised is Psalm 139:14 “Because I am fearfully and wonderfully made” I pray that you can see this also in your life. Because the same goes for you.
Just a catch up
Just to catch you up with last week and this weekend. We have all been sick in our home. The pollution has been really bad and the mix of the cold weather has not helped in us getting better. We are now on the mend. Just in time because we are going to have a very busy weekend ahead for us. Tonight after work we are going to help the teenagers and start to plan our missions trip that is going to be coming up first week of september. Friday through Sunday we have a little boy staying with us will his mom go to a work seminar. Along with that we are also helping on friday and saturday with the church for the annual church conference. This is a huge event in the church. Sunday we are going across town to a fiesta with a family. On top of all this and our regular work schedule Ross is also teaching at the school for three weeks. We aer vfery excited about this. So please be in prayer for us as he is working with teenagers between 12-15 years old. Thankfully we are able to have our daughters with us. They are such a huge help and they have such big hearts to help people. Our neighbors are in need of serious prayer right now. She is 6 1/2 monhts pregnant and she started to have contractions. She has a very serious infection and her and baby are at risk. Please be in prayer for them. She is suppose to be on bed rest and we all know how hard that is for a young mother of two. The kids will also be with us for the next to days when they get out of school. I am going to be answering more questions the teens in acapulco asked sometime next week. Keep posted. They are very good questions worth reading. Many blessing to all. amanda

For our loved ones
In my quite time today I felt so strongly to pray for you guys. I want to let you know that we have not forgotten any of you guys. We didn't leave you for no reason at all. We didn't leave you to go and love others. We didn't just leave you for an adventure. We did it because it was what our family was created to do. It is the thing that gives us unbelievable peace in our hearts. As much as you guys don't understand. We are truly doing, what we are doing, for all of you. We pray that our lives will be a light for you in this dark world. It is so hard to be away from you guys. To just being able to go give you guys huges for no reason. We miss going to your games and supporting you in all that you guys do, but like I said before we are not doing it in vain. I know God sees all these things that are so hard for us and He will honor them. Maybe not here on this earth but in Heaven. Know that we are supporting you guys here. We keep up with what you are doing and we will always be intune with your lives. Please don't be upset with us for taking your little girls away from you. Know that they are our shinning lights and that we are taking care of them. Please know that they will NEVER be put on the sidelines while we do our work. They are our number one, and our gifts from heaven. We made this video for you guys hoping that our life song will sing to you guys. We love you all very much! Blessings Amanda
